lyrics

Where was I the night that you wept
Wept so hard you filled an ocean
Where was I when you got torn down
So bad you could not hold back your emotion
I was there to see you cry
Looking down on you from up on high
I was there to see you weep
Inside of you I was down so deep

I was there in absentia
The soul of me in absentia
I was there in absentia
In your head and in your heart

Where was I the day that you won
A blue ribbon at your spelling bee
And where was I the very first time
You hung a star on your Christmas tree
I was there just out of sight
Wishing I could hold you tight
Yeah I was there just outta view
Wishing I could be right next to you

Where was I the day you found out
You were going to have a kid
Where the heck was I when you kept on doing
All the great things that you did
I was never that far away
I could hear everything you'd say
I was never far from your side
Haven't been since the day that I died
